Satellite L355D-S7825 went dark

I was working on my computer when, all of a sudden, my Satellite L355D-S7825 Toshiba laptop abruptly went dark and shut down, and now it won't power up again. It doesn't make any sound when I try to turn it up. One thing I do notice is that whenever I press the Start button the batteryindicator light blinks six times and then stops. The light blinks with or without the power cord. The unit was plugged in when it suddenly stopped working and went dark. Can anyone help me!!!

Sir, here is some tips. Remove the battery and AC adapter of your laptop then press power button for 10 sec. After that put on the battery and adapter. Boot up your system. If it didn't work call (800) 457-7777 (toll-free) or (949) 859-4273. Good luck.

Satellite L355D-S7829 went semi-dead

Hello. My satellite will power-on, make the familiar sound, but hard drive light does not come on and screen stays black.
In other words, it does not boot. Fan runs. I thought it might be hard drive but I switched an extra one in (actually it was the original OEM--I replaced it two years ago for a bigger drive), but same thing. Does it sound like motherboard? I am thinking that way...but could it be a RAM stick went bad?
Any help would be appreciated.
Carl

if your screen stays totally black, then I would say that it is your motherboard. Luckily, you can get a used motherboard on eBay for fairly cheap for your system. Just remove the RAM sticks, and the part number is located on a sticker under the RAM on the motherboard.

Satellite L355D-S7825 - Vista - Complete Restore

I purchased a Satellite L355D-S7825 a few years ago and now want to give it to my mother, but want to format or restore to factory settings first. It did not come with any discs, and during my attempts I thought I saw a recovery partion, but when I go through the steps found googling, the closest I can come is "Complete PC Restore", but when I select that it says "no backup image found".
How can I restore my Satellite L355D-S7825 (on Vista) to factory settings?
TYIA.

Yes, if you no longer have the recovery discs, you can obtain them from Toshiba. Scroll down to Get Recovery Media here
For instructions, see the section Hard Disk Drive Recovery using the Recovery media, which begins on p. 66 of this User's Guide.

Satellite L355D won't boot

I recently bought a refurbished Satellite L355D-S7825. It arrived about five days ago, and until today there have been no problems with it.
This morning, it worked. I put it in sleep mode when I left the computer, and when I came back it would not resume Windows. I pressed and held the power button to turn it off, and then attempted to start the computer again. No response.
When I press the power button, it sounds like the computer is switching on, the lights come on, and the fan starts running. Then it stops doing anything. The screen never displays anything, not even the Toshiba logo. I have since tried turning it on with and without the battery (which is fully charged) and with and without the power cable. It does not appear to be a power issue.
I do not have a CD to boot from, however my tech-savvy father tried his and the computer did not seem to be able to find the disk in order to start up.
The computer is new, so I have installed some software on it recently, but I have done nothing with the system itself or the hardware.
I'm leaving to go overseas in about 10 days and need to take the computer with me - and between now and then it's holidays, which is going to make it difficult to get the computer fixed if I have to go through a repair center. So any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

When you turn the laptop does the display flash once? If you look closely can you see a very faint picture in the background. If you can then your backlight is out and you will need to send it in for repair. You can also plug in your desktop monitor and then turn your laptop on to see if it is a backlight/display problem.

L355D-S7825 Microphone Issues

I purchased the Satellite L355D-S7825 and really like it. I recently downloaded Yahoo IM. I tried using the chat option and while i can hear the person I'm chatting with. They can't hear me. I checked my contol panel to make sure the microphone was indeed installed and it says that there is a Realtek HD microphone installed but when i try to test it...all i get from the Speech Configuration, Yahoo or even GoogleTalk (which i also tried) is "microphone undetected". Is anyone else having this issue? Does anyone have any idea how to correct this issue? Or is there even an internal mic?
Thanks
Erica

For Angieound Built-in stereo speakers Sound volume control dial Built-in microphone
As you can see the unit has an internal mic, so you need to check TRY THIS: START/CONTROL PANEL/HARDWARE AND SOUND/SOUND, now go to 'Manage audio devices' open same in the area marked PLAYBACK...look and see if there is a headset checked green-Internal Speake/Headphone and it states WORKING

How to connect Satellite L355D to a TV?

Hi,
I have a Toshiba Satellite L355D laptop and I would like to watch my computer movies on my TV.
Unfortunately, I do not know what cables do I need to be able to do it?
Any help will be appreciated! Thank you!

It seems to be that your notebook has no separate Video-out port but RGB only. This port is there if you want to connect external monitor.
Anyway, as far as I know, you can buy RGB adapter. I don't know which port you want to use on your TV but the best thing you can do is to visit TV store. Talk with dealers and explain what you want to do. they will give you the right adapter.

Can't start after bios upgrade (Satellite L355D-S7815)

Hello,
I have Satellite L355D-S7815 with VIsta.
Just tried to upgrade bios from 1.4 to 1.8 , as per instructions of preparing for Win 7 upgrade. Downloaded required files from TOshiba site, then run upgrade,picked to do it from Windows. After it finished and restarted ,laptop is not coming up.Just stays black screen, noting happens, doesn't boot, no messages nothing comes up.
I've tried to recover bios from a flash drive. Copy .fd file , renamed to "BIOS.fd", then restarted holding FN and F keys, but it still doesn't do anything.
Can anyone have any suggestions how else I could do it?
For example what's a trick to do it from a CD (I can hear that CD kind of starts up when I turn power on), but what would be the key combination to force it to load bios from a cd?
thanks in advance.
Lucjan

Screen went dark/dim. How do I fix it?

2nd generation iTouch.
Screen went dark/dim (can barely read it under a light).
Any ideas on how to fix it?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

2509m went dark

8 month old hp 2509m abruptly went dark. For the few seconds the screen can be seen, it is darker on top than on the bottom. If you look closely things can be seen on the screen but are very dark. What is odd that turning on and off the monitor seems to cause a normal display for a second or two before the light shuts off. When starting pc, screen comes on then shuts off. comes on again and shuts off. When turning on and off after start up the montior screen shows as normal then shuts off after a second. Hooking up monitor to another pc or laptop has same results. Unplug cable, message shows to check cable. If plugged in when PC powers down, will receive a monitor going to sleep message. Using Windows Vista and a vga cable. Have also replaced cable with a new one.
Any ideas?

Try a monitor reset. Power off PC and monitor. Unplug the monitor and then hold down the monitor's power button for 30-60 seconds. The plug everything back in and give it a go. There is also a factory reset function under the monitor's menu that you can try. If this doesn't fix the issue then contact HP support as the monitor has a 1 year warranty and ask for a replacement.

IMac went dark

Last week my iMac went dark (the screen) but the Power light on front was still on. I tried rebooting and there was no start-up chime and it would not come up. I disconnected all peripherals and still no joy. I reset the PRAM...no joy. I tried starting up on another disk, including a TechTool repair disk...again no luck.
I took it in to an authorized repair shop...and they found a bad RAM module. I have 2, 1Gig ram chips and one of them went bad. They removed it and everything is great...I do not even notice a slow down so far. But I did order a new one from Crucial ($24).
Anyway, just thought I would share this since this issue might happen to someone else. This is a 2006 Intel iMac, 20". I had no problems at all, and my 3 year warranty was up last May (2009). I was so happy it wasn't something more.

First try iMac SMC and PRAM reset, please do each of them 2x. If that does not work then try restarting in Safe Mode, this will clear some caches. You did not mention the version of OS X running on the machine, if you are running Snow Leopard then install the Snow Leopard disc in the SuperDrive and restart, when you hear the start up tone hold down the Option key and start from the SL disc and run Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions & Repair Disk.

The router might be bad or incompatible, but let's be optimistic.
On System Preferences, go to Network/Advanced/PPP. Only two items should be checked: Connect Automatically When Needed and Disconnect when switching user accounts. Uncheck everything else. Now, click Okay on the end of the page. The next time you're online, you shouldn't be disconnected.
If you still get disconnected like before, we might be dealing with a router issue - which can get rather complicated.
